• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC212 - Season &1 &2 &3 not defined ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_APC212 Season &1 &2 &3 not defined
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Apparel and Footwear (APC) or Fashion Management (FMS) modules, where season definitions are crucial for planning, production, and sales processes.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the system cannot find a valid season definition for the combination of the three parameters (&1, &2, &3) passed in the message.
  These parameters usually represent:
  
  &1: Season code (e.g., "SS" for Spring/Summer)
  &2: Year or season year (e.g., "2024")
  &3: Possibly a variant or sub-season code
  
  
  The season master data is missing or not maintained in the system.
  This can happen during:
  
  Creation or processing of articles/products linked to a season.
  Planning or forecasting activities that require season data.
  Sales order or production order processing where season info is mandatory.
  
  
  The system tries to validate the season but fails because the season is not defined in the Season table or relevant customizing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Season Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing path where seasons are maintained.
  For SAP Apparel and Footwear, seasons are usually maintained in:
  
  SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Apparel and Footwear ? Master Data ? Define Seasons
  
  
  Or use transaction codes like:
  
  /APC/SEASON (if available)
  Or check the relevant table (e.g., /APC/SEASON or /FMS/SEASON)
  
  
  
  
  
  Maintain the Missing Season:
  
  Create or maintain the season with the exact combination of season code, year, and variant as required.
  Ensure the season is active and valid for the current planning or processing period.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Consistency:
  
  Check the article master or any document triggering the error to ensure the season assigned exists in the system.
  If the season is coming from an external interface or upload, verify the data correctness.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Integration:
  
  If the season is derived from a configuration or integration with other systems (e.g., SAP APO, SAP IBP), ensure the season data is consistent across systems.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After maintaining the season, retry the transaction or process that caused the error.
